Andrew Rizzo Select KITH Loyalty Program members are getting a special delivery, or at least they’ll have the option to. Ronnie Fieg’s next tier-exclusive capsule introduces a new model to the Clarks x adidas line; the adidas AS350, an often forgotten adidas Original that rarely sees the light of day.
Members of KITH’s “Elevation” and “Vitality” tiers will be given an opportunity to purchase made-to-order pairs from 11AM EST April 26th to 11:59PM EST May 3rd on the KITH App. For context, the minimum points requirement to reach the “Elevation” tier is 2,000, aka at least $2,000 spent at KITH.
As the second of three tier-exclusive drops, Ronnie’s AS350 wears blue on the stripes and heel to reflect the color of KITH’s “Elevation” Loyalty Program card. Looking back to January, the inaugural KITH Loyalty launch included members in the lowest “Molecule” tier and delivered an 8th St Gazelle Indoor that matched that level’s brown card color. An exclusive drop for those in the “Vitality” tier should follow suit later this year.
The adidas AS350 model itself has proven to be an elusive pick-up throughout the years, which might come as a surprise given its familiar design language. It released exclusively in Japan back in the 70s and 80s and was archived shortly thereafter, only returning for a few cameos back in 2016. If you search for pairs online, you’ll likely have to sift through a bunch of Yeezy 350 results given the similar name.
Having been reworked and reimagined with pigskin suede and a Wallabee sole here, Ronnie Fieg’s influence serves the breath new life into the model, potentially hinting at the adidas AS350’s return in a mainline capacity.
Enjoy detailed images of the collaborative adidas AS350 below and if applicable, secure your pair through the KITH App before the order window closes on May 3rd.
